Cooperative Purchasing

Fairfax County actively participates in two cooperative purchasing
programs:

Metropolitan Council of Governments Cooperative Purchasing
Program.
Locally we solicit, award and use cooperative contracts in conjunction
with the Metropolitan Washington Council
of Governments. We offer all vendors the opportunity to complete a
COG rider at the time of award of all of our requirements contracts.

Government Purchasing Alliance.
Nationally we solicit, award, and use cooperative contracts in
conjunction with US
Communities, a governmental entity established and sponsored by the
National Association of Counties, the US conference of Mayors, and the
National Institute of Governmental Purchasing.
